Chuncheon (Dakgalbi Alley)

Chuncheon's Dakgalbi Alley, 150 metres of restaurants in the city's Myeong-dong, serves spicy chicken stir-fried on an iron plate and local buckwheat noodles.

Tongyeong

Tongyeong packs chungmu gimbap, kkulppang and Korea's best winter oysters around its harbour, the classic seafood day trip an easy bus west of Busan.

Gyeongju

Gyeongju pairs its royal tombs with Hwangnam bread queues and ssambap tables, the easiest history-and-food day trip on the KTX line north from Busan.

Ulsan (Eonyang)

Eonyang, over the hills from Busan, is the home town of the dry-grilled bulgogi style, its old bus-road diners still pressing beef over charcoal.

Masan (Changwon)

Masan's Odong-dong agujjim street braises the spicy monkfish dish this port town invented, a full alley of steaming plates about an hour west of Busan.
